Jessa Duggar shared the first photos of her sixth baby, Edward, since announcing his birth—and it’s safe to say that Counting On fans think he lives up to his playful nickname.
On Saturday, Sept. 6, the former TLC star, 32, took to Instagram with a carousel of photos featuring her youngest child, whom she and her husband, Ben Seewald welcomed in July.
“15 lbs of cuteness! 🥰,” Duggar captioned her update. “We may or may not address this little guy as ‘Your Royal Fatness.’ 😏.”
The doting mom added, “Can’t believe it’s been nearly a month and a half since Edward joined our family! He is the happiest, smiliest baby and we can hardly remember what life was like before he was around. 🤍.”
For the featured image, Duggar wore an orange and black striped shirt as she sat on a couch while holding her not-so-tiny newborn son. The baby boy wore a black, long-sleeved bodysuit, with his adorably chubby cheeks practically resting on his shoulders. Other shots showed Duggar with her infant as he wore a green bodysuit and was swaddled in a blanket.
In addition to Edward, Jessa and Ben have five other children. They have three sons, Spurgeon, 9, Henry, 8, and George, who turns 2 in December, and two daughters, Ivy, 6, and Fern, 4.
In the comments, Duggar’s followers fawned over how precious Edward was.
One Instagram user declared, “Look at those cheeks!!! Cutie💙.”
Another shared, “He’s such a cute chunk 😍.”
Someone else wrote, “He is ‘really’ healthy!!💙💙.”
A different follower pointed out, “I love chunky monkey babies!! So cute!”
Meanwhile, yet another fan commented, “So adorable!! Nothing better than a squishy, fluffy baby!”
Others could believe how much Edward looked like one of his older siblings, with one Instagram user writing, “He bears a striking resemblance to his older brother Henry.😍❤️.”
“Henry’s twin,” a second echoed,” as a different follower admitted, “I thought you posted an old picture of Henry at first.”
On Aug. 12, Duggar announced the birth of baby Edward via Instagram.
“Edward Owen Seewald. 10 lbs. 21 in. 07.26.25,” she captioned a photo of the snoozing newborn swaddled in a brown blanket. “We are so in love with this little guy! 🤍.”
As of writing, two of Jessa’s 18 siblings are expecting. Her sister, Jana Duggar, is pregnant with her first baby with her husband, Stephen Wissmann. And Jana’s twin brother,John David Duggar, is expecting his third baby with his wife, Abbie Duggar.
